When is Jennifer on? I haven’t seen her lately. I miss her on Channel 9.
I wish they would find someone else. She is a fake. I don’t think she is very smart. Go back to Kansas, please!
Wow, tell us what you REALLY think! Glad you’re so perfect.
I agree about Jennifer’s voice. She should see a voice councilor. It would help her career immensely.
I absolutely love her! She seems very genuine and down-to-earth…she is the whole reason I watch the Fox 9 weather segment. Being insanely gorgeous is a plus!
I wish Jennifer comes back to Kansas City and does the weather. We miss her.
Jennifer is a breath of fresh air.not only is she attractive she is easy to listen to
and understand and she knows her weather. I watch Ch 9 news all the time now.
Amy Hockert is great on Ch 9 just brings you the news as it is. Ch 9 doesn’t waste every newscast with Covid stories EVERY night. One thing to pass on Jennifer is great on the weather a lot better than most. BUT Jennifer go lighter on the red lipstick, be yourself, you are naturally attractive and talented.
Welcome to Twin Cities!
I’m so glad Jennifer has started to speak a bit more naturally, without that very dramatic sing-song voice. I watch Fox News constantly, but when she came on with the weather, it made me so anxious to hear her voice. Honestly, it was so overly dramatic.
She has tamed down some, so I’m glad someone must have mentioned it to her. Be yourself Jennifer and just relax! It’s not the Academy Awards or anything!
Hope all is well with her. She’s one of my favorite TV personalities. Sad to see her leave.
